Hi! I just noticed that everyone have their names showing up in two lines at the top right corner on the start screen.(a line with bigger font size, and a line with smaller font size) For me, my whole name shows up in just one line with the bigger font size. I checked my microsoft account settings and everything configured properly. Anyone knows what could cause this? I know this is just a tiny thing but it annoys me...

If you have your last name in the "Last name" field, and your first name in the "First name" field, it should appear like you've described. At least that's how it does in my case.

It is configured like that so last name and first name configured into their fields, and it shows my name in one line. I even tried to modify my contact information on outlook.com but no change...
And I noticed that If I rename myself for anything (for example First name:One and Last name:Two), in Windows 8 it's still showing my real name even after I restarted the pc. :/

I started to think that I get my name in one line because in my country we write our surname first. So in my case, my surname would be written with bigger fonts, and that would be silly.
